This Brie Spaghetti is creamy, rich and a great way to elevate dinner. I like to say this is the more refined, adult mac & cheese (if you love brie of course).
Why Make This Brie Spaghetti
This delectable pasta dish combines the creaminess of Brie cheese with the simple elegance of perfectly cooked spaghetti. Whether you’re a cheese enthusiast or a pasta lover, Brie Spaghetti is sure to capture your heart and your taste buds. If you want something more similar to mac & Cheese, try my Spicy Mac & Cheese (yum!)
This pasta is for Brie lovers, the dish relies heavily on the butter, creamy flavor of brie. This dish is rib sticking good. You can add protein by topping it with grilled chicken to complete the meal. My Crispy Chicken Burgers would also be great sliced on top of this.
Ingredients Needed
Brie. Use a high quality brie for the ultimate melty, creamy texture. I have tried cheap brands and it doesn’t melt quite as well and gets clump.
Mushrooms. This is optional but they are so rich and good in this pasta.
Seasonings. Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes.
Recipe Variations
Add extra veggies. Spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, sautéed zucchinis all pair great in this dish. I mix and match it all.
Spaghetti. Fettuccine and angel hair pasta will also work.
Steps To Make Brie Spaghetti
Step One. Start the pasta. Preheat oven to 350º. Slice the top of the brie rind off, leave the bottom on to keep the brie flavor present (step 1). Place the brie rind in a medium sized oven safe dish, about 7-8 inches. Cook for 15 minutes covered with tin foil.
Step Two. In a large bowl add olive oil, chopped parsley, seasoning and garlic. Whisk together well. Once pasta is cooked add it to the oil and seasoning and mix well to ensure pasta is evenly coated.
Step Three. Add oil to a large skillet. Sauté the onions, tomatoes and mushrooms with a pinch of salt for about 5-8 minutes. Set aside.
Step Four. Pull the brie out add the shredded mozzarella, top with the oiled spaghetti and quickly toss. Top with the veggies and parsley, serve and enjoy!
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Recipe FAQs
If you aren’t a big fan of brie, you may want to skip this one and try my Creamy Parmesan Pasta instead. This recipe has a lot of brie flavor!
If you brie spaghetti comes out a bit dry, this could be the brand of brie, they all bake differently and some are just more melty than others. If this is the case, heat some heavy cream in a sauce pan and add it to the mix and toss pasta well.
The rind melts a bit, but it will have some solid pieces. This is why i cut the top of the brie off and leave the bottom of the rind for the extra flavor.
Recipe Tips
Don’t Overcook The Brie. If you overcook it it can result in a chunky dry mix.
Use a high quality brie. I recommend spending a little extra money on a nicer wheel of brie for this recipe to get the ultimate flavor and rich melty texture.
Enjoy this with wine! This recipe is excellent with a dry white wine.
Top it with grilled chicken. Trust me, they pair great together if you want some protein.
Reserve Some Pasta Water. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water to help if you need to thin the sauce and spread it a bit more.
Recipe Pairings
This recipe is great on it’s own but I love to pair it with my Roasted Red Pepper Kale Salad.
